| Summary/Abstract |
This article identifies and critically assesses the revisionist literature on diasporic Chinese business and entrepreneurship that has emerged over the past decade. Apart from analysing key themes in this literature (including the deconstruction and demystification of a romance of ethnic Chinese business, construction of the internal structures of Chinese businesses, integration of broader theoretical conceptualisations and micro-level empirical analyses and more systematic incorporation of China into diasporic Chinese entrepreneurship studies), it pinpoints some of the pitfalls associated with revisionist approaches. This article also considers the possibilities of going beyond the revisionist arguments and future research agendas by using some small empirical cases from Singapore and Japan to underscore the multi-layered interplay between transnational Chinese networks and the state. It can be argued that this interaction has been significantly shaped by the dynamic rise of China and the rapid economic regionalisation in the Asia Pacific, which reinforce the transnationalising of embedded networks and facilitate the emergence of a new breed of transnational Chinese entrepreneurship.

| Summary/Abstract |
The interaction between two perspectives-China as a world factory and Chinese business knowledge-has been complicated by the ever greater tensions generated from the national-China-and the transnational actors-Chinese-in understanding the economic driving force behind the real meanings of the rise of China. The construction process of the rise of Chinese economic power puts the state in direct contact with regional and global economic/political changes. On the one hand, Chinese business knowledge, identities, economic and political interactions also give rise to the notion of network building and sub-regional development, which help transcend country-specific relations. On the other hand, the notion of the rise of China is still being re-constructed through the interplay between regional and global political economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is an implicit but commonly held assumption that Chinese businesses are distinctively Chinese. Casting them in unitary and national terms, this assumption has often provided the underpinnings for the conception of the strength of Chinese businesses as signs of an emerging China threat. Drawing on a global production networks (GPN) approach, this paper aims to question the assumption by arguing that many Chinese businesses, embedded in the expanding global and regional production networks, have taken on important transnational characteristics. Given these transnational connections, Chinese business networks in both 'Greater China' and China proper are characterized more by diversity and fragmentation than by cultural coherence and homogeneity. This analysis of the transnationalization and fragmentation of contemporary Chinese businesses helps better understand and respond to the complex challenge posed by the economic dynamism in China.
